DescriptionOmnia is a new open-source project that automates the stand-up and tear-down of software-defined HPC clusters for simulation, artificial intelligence and data analytics using various server, storage and network building blocks. Omnia can compose software-defined clustered solutions on bare-metal and virtual machines, whether they be on-prem, in a co-located datacenter or in the cloud. By taking advantage of standard APIs, automation tools and other existing software projects, Omnia can compose software-defined clusters from various infrastructure providers. In this talk we will discuss Omnia’s current architecture and capabilities, describe how it composes and instantiates logical clusters in a software-defined manner, and how it can quickly tear down those clusters to repurpose underlying nodes for other cluster deployments. We will then discuss Omnia’s future plans, expected features, and how people and organizations can join and contribute to the Omnia community.
